    I love listening to these so much more than regular audiobooks. I recommend them to all the Janeites I know. The voices, background sound effects and music make for an immersive listening experience. Please please do more books!

    Great but you are leaving me hanging! When will the finale come? I think there was talk of concussions and deaths etc. I hope everyone is OK. It’s An amazing piece of work.

    I love audio books, but this is so much more, the BEST read and acted version of persuasion that I’ve heard. The meaning and the subtle humor comes across beautifully. Please never stop 🩵

    Delightful, engrossing audio drama
    I was sent here by Pod and Prejudice. This was so beautifully acted. The music and sound is just enough to be immersive, not enough to distract. I recommend to anyone interested in experiencing the story and characters of Persuasion, for the first or fiftieth time.

    Lovely storytelling, but the outros!
    Loving listening to the adventures of Anne and Frederick. Terrific actors make the story come to life. But the outros and bloopers are fab. They never fail to make me laugh. Thank you for all the hard work. Producing these episodes must take a huge amount of time and effort.

    Can’t get enough
    I loved Pride and Prejudice (still do) but toss is almost better because I don’t know the story. The music and actors and sound effects are all super engaging. I was listening to the most recent episode and didn’t want it to end. I also mentioned you guys on my podcast, jsyk 😉 keep making awesome episodes!

    Gorgeous soundscape and narration
    I am LOVING this podcast! I was on tenterhooks waiting for it since listening to Pride and Prejudice during the pandemic. I’ve been enjoying each episode as they come out, but episode 6 with the incident at Lyme is just exquisite, so I had to come write a review. The unobtrusive music and the clever background sounds scaffold a magnificent cast and of course some of the best prose in the English language. What a delight. I know this was a long labor of love, but I hope they do more. Emma, anyone????
